Pair of Black and White Etched Glass and Brass Hourglass Wall Lights 1950’s

About the Item

Exceptional rare large hourglass wall sconces are designed with up and down light from the conical blown glass shades in opal glass with an outer body layer of black glass that is etched on the outside to reveal a star shape pattern that illuminates its layered black surrounding through the cones. The cone shades are held together by a centre brass and nickel frame that is also decorated with star shaped perforations. The layered detailing in these generous size wall lights are very rare which makes them special.
